在溫室中測試紙漿污染，商用泥炭土及商業栽培介質 ( BVB No.4)，當作栽培介質的效益；採用 80% 醱酵過的紙漿污泥及 20% 泥炭土的組合，當作栽培介質，可使日日春的生長性狀及葉綠素的相對含量，如同栽種在商用之栽培質中一般。若採用含量為50%的醱酵紙漿污泥及50%的泥炭土為栽培介質，栽培的10種不同的作物之生長情形，相當或更優於栽種在商用栽培介質中者，上述情形中，除波斯菊的根長情形外，其餘皆然。未醱酵之紙漿污泥上澄液會抑制日日春的種子發芽，而醱酵後則否；醱酵的紙漿污泥和添加的拮抗微生物為相容性，因而可生產出健康的日日春幼苗。
Paper mill sludge (PMS), commercial peat and a commercial container medium (BYB No.4) were compared in the greenhouse for use as container media. Com posted PMS mixed with peat at ratio of 80% PMS (volume basis) supported plant growth, and relative leaf chlorophyll content of periwinkles comparable 0 commercial container medium (BVB No.4). Container medium amended with 50% composted PMS supported similar or better growth of ten different plant species than BYB No.4, except the root length of cosmos and chrysanthemum. Raw PMS supernatant inhibited seed germination of periwinkle. The inhibitory effect was eliminated when the raw PMS was well composted. Com posted PMS was compatible with the amended antagonistic microorganism and was good for production healthy periwinkle seedlings.
